EXIF and Metadata in Display Copies!

Andy

For a long time, you've been telling us how important it would be for us to include EXIF and Copyright, IPTC Metadata in the display copies we generate on SmugMug.

Happy to say that we just rolled this out live! From now on, when you upload photos that include exif and other metadata, we'll include that in your display copies. For any old photos you have on the site, you can get it for those, too - simply by rewatermarking (if you're a pro) or rotating left/right, or any other image operation like color effects, cropping, etc.

Details in our release notes:

And here is the list of metadata we're honoring:

- Exif.Image.Make
- Exif.Image.Model
- Exif.Image.DateTime
- Exif.Photo.FNumber
- Exif.Photo.ExposureTime
- Exif.Photo.ExposureBiasValue
- Exif.Photo.ExposureProgram
- Exif.Photo.ExposureMode
- Exif.Photo.Flash
- Exif.Photo.FocalLength
- Exif.Photo.ISOSpeedRatings
- Exif.Photo.LightSource
- Exif.Photo.MeteringMode
- Exif.Photo.SceneCaptureType
- Exif.Photo.ApertureValue
- Exif.Photo.MaxApertureValue
- Exif.Photo.ShutterSpeedValue
- Exif.Photo.WhiteBalance
- Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal
- Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized
- Xmp.aux.Lens
- Xmp.dc.rights
- Iptc.Application2.Copyright
- Exif.Image.Copyright (if Iptc.Application2.Copyright is not set)
- Xmp.xmpRights.Marked
- Xmp.xmpRights.UsageTerms
- Xmp.xmpRights.WebStatement
- Iptc.Application2.Byline
- Exif.Image.Artist (if Iptc.Application2.Byline is not set)

good feature but I am not seeing it when I click on the 'i' in the pull out menu of an image. I still see the basic and detailed info but no metadata. I know that the image I am looking at had metadata in it because I always add it in Bridge.

JAG, we're not displaying all this extra info in the popup.. we may in the future. But all of this will be embedded in your display copies.

We need a button for this, re-genning, maybe on the gallery level to keep the load reasonable.

As a new SmugMug Pro customer, I'm trying to (as much as possible) make my metadata as consistent as is also practical.

Given the cacophony of competing groups, users, and corporations, it is highly appreciated that you use the explicit 'dot' notation that greatly reduces confusion.
